colour suite challenge + prize **contest closed**

One of our design team members, Summer Fullerton, is here with her Colour Suite challenge from April 15th. She hosts this same challenge at Scrapbook & Cards Today and has an inspirational article in each issue, all of which are very popular with our readers and bloggers!

Echo Park Paper Co. has joined in on this challenge and is offering a sweet prize -- YOUR CHOICE of a collection pack from one of their newest releases. Several of EP's designers also joined in and we have some beautiful page samples from them as well.

So without further delay, I'll turn this post over to Summer!

Hey all, Summer here and I'm so happy to join all of you to help celebrate PageMaps' 7th Anniversary! No combo could be sweeter than to join a PageMaps sketch with one of the monthly Colour Suites, and I really enjoyed this challenge! April's palette of colors have been some of my favorite and offer a great way to showcase the super popular navy color that is popping up everywhere! Here's my spin on this color palette. The green and grey really talked to me, and the remaining pink, yellow and navy played supporting roles on my page.

Emily Pitts, one of the designers at SCT, really played up the navy on her awesome layout. The stitching details are very cool!

And Becky Fleck even found the time to join in, creating this super cute card using her Copics.

Two very talented designers from Echo Park's Design Team also joined us and here are their fantastic layouts:

Linda Auclair

Susan Stringfellow

So what will you create using these five colors? We'd love for you to participate in this challenge for your chance to win some Echo Park goodies!

To enter the contest, create a layout, based on this sketch, using the Colour Suite above for color reference. Post a comment on this thread with a link to your entry. This contest starts today and ends at midnight MST, Tuesday, May 28, 2013. This challenge is open to everyone, everywhere!

Summer, thank you so much for this wonderful challenge, and hats off to everyone who joined you. All of the samples are so wonderful!

We look forward to seeing what YOU create, so be sure to enter the challenge!

Here is mine. It is about my Uncle's art. He is mentally challenged and lived in an institution for most of his life. His art is incredible. He is now in a group home and loving his freedom. He continues to do art, in various forms. This is a picture of a rug hooking that he created. I am especially fond of it as I tutor.

But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. The other day a fond fashionable mother in Michigan asked a young man whether he had ever seen a lady sweep in a room so grandly as her Priscilla. He said no, he never had ,and the mother was gratified beyond measure, but then said he ,after a pause, “What I should like to see her do is sweep out a room” It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.

Thank you for this wonderful challenge. I loved how my layout came together while I searched my stash for the colours. Here is my layout for the challenge. Thanks for the challenge.http://rubym-inspiredscrapper.blogspot.ca/2013/05/pagemaps-blog-may-colur-suite-challenge.html
